I am using Django form for inputs. However, I would like to custom it a little bit. For example the following Django code will be translated into:

#Django code

aerial_size_dist = forms.ChoiceField(initial='Very Fine to Fine') 

#Translated HTML  
<tr><th><label for="id_aerial_size_dist">Aerial size dist:</label></th><td><select name="aerial_size_dist" id="id_aerial_size_dist"></select></td></tr>

My question is that how to add a label property such as "style" from working from the Django side? Can widget change Django form label property?

Target HTML

<tr><th><label for="id_aerial_size_dist" style="display:none;">Aerial size dist:</label></th><td><select name="aerial_size_dist" id="id_aerial_size_dist"></select></td></tr>

    Similar problem is answered here:
    Get the ID of a field widget in a formset .
    Although it doesn’t allow you to customize the ID directly, it uses default (autogenerated) ID

    (Short answer) use this in template:

    EDIT:

    <label for="{{ form.my_field.id_for_label }}">{{ form.my_field.label }}</label>

    old one: (this was not working in some cases – see comments)

    <label for="{{ form.my_field.auto_id }}">{{ form.my_field.label }}</label>
